U.S. Route 127 (US 127) in Kentucky runs 207 miles (333 km) from the Tennessee state line in rural Clinton County to the Ohio state line in Cincinnati. The southern portion of the route is mostly rural, winding through various small towns along the way. It later runs through the state capital of Frankfort before continuing north, eventually passing through several Cincinnati suburbs in Northern Kentucky, joining US 42 near Warsaw and US 25 in Florence before crossing the Ohio River via the Clay Wade Bailey Bridge.
US 127 enters the state at Static on the state line separating Pickett County, Tennessee, from Clinton County, Kentucky, where it intersects Tennessee State Route 111 (SR 111, formerly SR 42) and Kentucky Route 1076 (KY 1076). It passes through Albany. After that it runs concurrently with KY 90 for 0.59 miles (0.95 km), and then crosses into Russell County, where it goes onto Wolf Creek Dam and passes the Lake Cumberland State Resort Park. After the lake, US 127 passes through Jamestown and Russell Springs, where US 127 has a junction with the Cumberland Parkway. After it leaves Russell County, the highway then traverses Casey, western Lincoln, and Boyle Counties, including the communities of Liberty, Hustonville, and Danville, respectively. At Danville, US 127 then goes further north to Harrodsburg (Mercer County), Lawrenceburg (Anderson County), and then, Franklin County, the home of the state capital city of Frankfort.
